Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhorst could hand five of his summer signings their competitive debuts when they face Livingston on Saturday.
The Ibrox boss knows it's vital to start fast in the race for Scottish Premiership title glory and will expect a tough encounter at the Tony Macaroni Arena. And he will be aided by a batch of his new arrivals aiming to turn heads. Ben Davies, Malik Tillman, Antonio Colak, John Souttar and Tom Lawrence are aiming for a start of matchday one.
But Rabbi Matondo will miss out due to a knock. The Wales international has impressed during pre-season but isn't available for Rangers. New left-back Ridvan Yilmaz is travelling to Glasgow on Saturday and will meet up with his new team-mates on Sunday.
Alfredo Morelos is working his way back into contention but won't feature and neither will Kemar Roofe, Ianis Hagi and Filip Helander. Alex Lowry is another on the comeback trail. But Rangers fans can expect a fresh looking selection as they aim to dethrone champions Celtic and make a return to the Champions League this season.
